As far as I know it *is* being implemented - with much success. There
seems to be a delay in reporting on how things are going - usual issue,
people good at doing things are not necessarily the best at advertizing
them...
I've been pushing a bit for already a year on getting someone to report
in detail about RIVER. I do have a nice French-made documentary
somewhere, will see if I can find it and somehow get it to y'all, but
cannot promise.

Thanks Subbu for the great link on the Rishi valley initiative.
It would really change the face of Indian education if what has been
proposed on the web site can be really implemented.

Great stuff! Thanks for the link, Sabbu. I need more time to
explore this, but it looks very much like the old frontier
one-room schools in the USA.
Actually, there are still a lot of them in places like rural
Montana. A lot of great people came out of this type of school
with wonderful educations, so
we know it can work. I wonder how the XO and Sugar could best be
integrated into this.
I would love to see a sample of the "School in a Box"
